Prompt 1: Create a “future classroom” museum
Imagine it is May 2027, and I have had one of my best teaching years. I teach [grade / topic / subject]. Create a “museum” of 8 fictional artifacts from that successful year. For each artifact, explain what it shows about my classroom routines, instruction, student learning, or communication.
Prompt 1: follow-up
For artifact [##], what routines, planning moves, and instructional decisions would I need to put in place during the first month of school?
Prompt 2: “What Would I Do If” scenario cards
Create 20 “What would I do if…” scenario cards for a [grade / topic / subject] teacher preparing for next year. Include scenarios about student misunderstanding, group work problems, unfinished assignments, AI misuse, parent communication, grading dilemmas, and classroom routines.
Prompt 3: Idea scrapbook
Help me create a summer teaching idea scrapbook for [grade / topic / subject]. Give me 50 small ideas, organized by instructional purpose. Each idea should be realistic, low-prep, and usable during the school year. Within each instructional purpose, label and list them by level of likely influence on overall student learning and classroom climate, highest influence ideas first.
